China’s Fake Seafood, Like $0.03 Scallops and Squid, Are Absolutely Appalling

[@Calamity_Jack]

@@demolast9128 Both are true, actually. Check out the recent videos where countries like Vietnam are chasing rogue Chinese fishing trawlers who illegally sneak into their fishing grounds at night. Reportedly because overfishing has been so rampant in China that practically nothing's left. The fishermen are just trying to make a living, so it's hard to blame them, but they're creating an empty wasteland in the process.

Everything is made for a price, if the price is high enough, they can make pretty much anything with good quality. But domestically, at domestically owned factories selling and distributing domestically, everything is literal trash. But they don`t want to lose their exports to western companies, so their exports tend to be of much higher quality, AS LONG AS it`s given a decent budget. Western companies give them a budget and a set of specifications, it can be and is currently being made within a full range of qualities, including high quality.
